The Wounded Warrior Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting the new generation of severely injured servicemen and women, delivering personal and responsive attention for these heroes. The Wounded Warrior Project provides free programs and services for the severely wounded, enables vets to help vets, and educates the public and enlists their aid in this important effort.

Our Mission:
To raise public awareness and enlist the public's aid for the needs of severely injured service men and women, to help severely injured service members to aid and assist each other, and to provide unique, direct programs and services to meet their needs.

History:
Wounded Warrior Project began when several individuals took small actions to help others in need. One night while watching the evening news, veterans and brothers were moved by the stories of the first wounded service members returning home from Afghanistan and Iraq. They realized that something needed to be done for these brave individuals beyond the brass bands and ticker tape parades. They wanted to provide tangible support for the severely wounded to help them on the road to heal both physically and mentally. What they viewed as a small contribution compared with what the warriors had sacrificed, is now WWP's signature program: WWP backpacks delivered bedside to wounded warriors.

Programs:
Wounded Warrior Project offers a number of programs that provide assistance to returning injured service men and women during each phase of their rehabilitation. Through the generous donations of private citizens, organizations and corporations, wounded warriors are provided opportunities that ease the transition to civilian life. This support is also complemented by both grassroots and national events hosted for Wounded Warrior Project by volunteers and organizations nationwide. Your help will further enable us to contribute positively to these programs and the people they affect. Programs include Soldier Ride, WWP Backpacks, Transition Care Packs, Benefits Counseling, Family Assistance, Wounded Warrior Disabled Sports Project, Warriors To Work, and TRACK.
